Workshop on Trends and Applications in Intelligent Environments (TAIE'14)

Under the framework of the Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS 2014)

========================
= General Information =
========================
Intelligent Environments (IEs) are spaces in which networked computing technologies are seamlessly embedded to enhance people’s ordinary daily activities via creating interactive environments that are sensitive and responsive to the presence of people. Various places people inhabit encompassing settings such as homes, classrooms, factories, transport, clothing, etc., provide various types of IEs.
Moreover, IEs describe physical environments in which information and communication technologies and sensor systems disappear as they become embedded into physical objects, infrastructures, and the surroundings in which we live, travel, and work. Therefore, the main goal of developing IE applications is to allow computers to take part in activities never previously involved and allow people to interact with computers via gesture, voice, movement, and context.
This workshop provides a multidisciplinary interactive forum for researchers and practitioners from different disciplines; such as science, engineering, architecture, sociology, government, education or business, in order to present theoretical and practical results of their work.
